.RJZF. 7. @MLM fmwney n5 NORRIS PETERS C0, PHOm-LITHa. WASHINGTON. D C4 HENRY D. SARGENT, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, T0 CLARK S. GOIVESTOCK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
LOOP.
Application filed May 10, 1913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY D. SARGENT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Loops, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to supporters but more particularly to loops or button clasps of the type adapted for use on suspenders and the like, and has for its object to provide a structure which can be manufactured more easily and cheaply and is more efficient than any of the devices of a similar nature heretofore known.
It is particularly important in a structure of this nature that the whole be made of a single piece of wire and that the ends of the wire be so formed as to remove any possibility of their catching in the clothing.
lhe many features and advantages of the device will be fully understood from the following description and included in the claims.
One embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings in which 1- Figure l is a front elevation of the invention complete showing a button in dotted lines inserted in the mouth of the device, as will be fully described hereinafter. Fig. 2, same as Fig. 1, showing the button in dotted lines passing the locking device, as will be fully described hereinafter. Fig. 3, same as Fig. 1, showing the button in dotted lines after it has passed the locking device, as will be fully described hereinafter.
Referring to the drawings, the invention is shown to comprise a single piece of wire bent in the form shown in the drawings. The upper part is formed substantially into an eye 11 adapted to have one end of a suspender strap secured thereto. Below this eye 11 is formed substantially a loop 12 of suflicient size to permit any ordinary button to be passed therethrough. Below this loop 12 is formed substantially a second loop 13 of smaller size than the loop 12 and opening into the same. This loop 13 is preferably adapted to admit the shank of a button. but too small to permit the head of the button to pass therethrough. At the junction of the two loops l2 and 18 is what will be referred to as the throat 14c and upon one side of this Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 13, 1915. Serial No. 766,662.
throat, the two ends of the wire 10 are formed into interlocking loops 15 and 16. The loop 16 is enlarged as shown in the drawing and forms the locking device.
In the practical operation of the invention, a button is inserted through the loop 12 and rests in the position shown in Fig. 1. The strap 17 of the suspender is then drawn upwardly relative to the button, causing the shank of the button to force the loop 16 laterally as shown in Fig. 2. When the shank has been drawn below the loop 16, this loop will spring back and the parts will be in the position shown in Fig. 3 with the shank of the button resting within the loop 13. To release the button from the device, the button should preferably be grasped in the hand and, with the other hand press downwardly on the clasp, forcing the looking device out of the way against the action of the spring wire until the shank of the button passes out of the loop 13 into the loop 12 and the button may then be freely withdrawn.
In this form of clasp, there are no exposed ends to tear the garments, the button is easily inserted and released, and accidental release is practically impossible. No soldering of joints is necessary.
Many other structural and operative ad vantages might be stated but it is believed that these will be clearly evident to anyone skilled in the art.
The applicant is aware that a considerable number of changes in the construction and arrangement of parts might be made by anyone skilled in the art without departing.
from the scope of his invention and he does not care to be limited to the particular embodiment herein shown and described.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a device of the class described, a single piece of spring wire bent to form a button receiving loop having the lower portion thereof constricted to form substantially a smaller loop and the two ends of the wire formed into eyelets which interlock adjacent to the junction of these two loops, one of these interlocking eyelets projecting inwardly to form a yielding neck.
2. In a device of the class described, a single piece of spring wire bent to form a button receiving loop having its lower portion constricted to form a smaller loop connected tothe larger loop by a throat,vand the two 7 ends of the wire formed into interlocking eyelets adjacent to said throat and one of said eyelets extending yieldingly inwardly wvliicli interlock adjacent to said throat, one
of said eyelets being elongated to normally project inwardly into said throat but being adapted to be yieldingly pressed out of said throat.
In a device of the class described, a single piece of spring wire bent to form a loop,
the upper portion thereof being adapted to have a garment strap secured thereto, the middle portion forming a button receiving mouth, the lower portion being constricted to form a small socket connected by a throat with the button receiving mouth, and the ends of the wire being formed into eyelets which interlock adjacent to said throat and one of said eyelets projects yieldingly into said throat.
5. In a device of the class described, a single piece of spring wire bent to form a button receiving loop having its lower portion constricted to form a smaller loop connected by a throat with the larger loop, and one end of said wire being bent inwardly and upwardly in the plane of the loop to form an enlarged eyelet projecting into said throat to act as a button retaining lock, and having the opposite extremity of the wire formed into an eyelet interlocking with the first eyelet.
In testimony whereof I a'liiX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
